I thought that to get the 6 ounce seramas you needed to get some sort of "class A" type or something? Not sure but they are TINY!

There is currently 3 size classes A class up to 12oz, B class up to 17oz and C class up to 20oz for roosters. A class up to 11oz, B class up to 15 oz and C class up to 17oz for hens. At least that's what I've read.

Ah, ok that makes sense.

I thought porcelain was a color.

Serama would probably be the smallest bird but it is not recognized as of yet by the standard.

In order from smallest and up:


Seramas would be the smallest

Dutch bantams being the smallest recognized breed at Cock: 21oz; Cockerel: 20oz.; Hen: 19oz.; and Pullet: 18oz.

Next would be Modern Game
Cock: 22oz; Cockerel: 20oz; Hen: 20oz; Pullet: 19oz

Also the same as Moderns is the Sebrights

OEG
CK-24oz
CKL-22oz
Hen-22oz
Pull-20oz

The Nankins info is:
Nankins are true bantams with no standard counterpart; they are one of the smallest of the recognized breeds of chicken at 24 oz for cocks; 22 oz for hens. Cockerel and Pullet weights are 22 and 20 oz respectively.

I got that off of www.nankinbantams.com

Phoenix ties with Nankins and OEG

Some of the Ohikis are extremely small as well.
